Arraigned: Alleged Assassin of Canadian Businessman

(Acapulco, AN 24 December) The State Attorney General’s office publicly presented yesterday Héctor Juan Figueroa, the presumed assassin of Canadian businessman Daniel Dion. Figueroa had been under house arrest, pending forensic investigations, and was formally arraigned yesterday for the crime. Dion had been murdered on October 23, and his burned body was later discovered in the trunk of the automobile he had rented. Figueroa, 46, an ex-convict who had met Dion through the latter’s rehabilitation program in the state penitentiary, had been for some time the only suspect.
